Guest Blogging: Gimmick or Good? – Silver Surfer #50

Chasing Amazing is taking over the Internet (not really, but a boy can dream, right?). Have you been keeping up with my Gimmick or Good? feature at Comics Should Be Good (at Comic Book Resources)? That’s where I analyze the indulgently marketed comic books from the 1990s to determine if the issue was a gimmick, or if it was actually “good.” Today’s entry looks at the chromium embossed Silver Surfer #50 (which also functioned as a prelude to the Infinity Gauntlet mini-series). Be sure to check it out!
